Hostels in Chubu

"A great stay. Capsule hotel like. Very clean and quiet despite many pods. Some ppl don’t like the fact that the lounge isn’t available during the day. In my opinion, that space is part of the restaurant. So unless you’re purchasing from the restaurant, it makes sense that area is reserved for patrons only. There’s another lounge upstairs anyways for hostel guests. FYI no amenities provided like they do in some other places. The only weird thing was the sheets - the duvet was put inside a...

"Great location right next to train station. Beautiful clean and spacious rooms."

"Very close to Kawaguchiko station. Clean and tidy. Has a microwave, a mini fridge and a kettle with a few options for tea. There are two convenience stores about a 5 minute walk from the hotel and Lake Kawaguchiko is about a 15 minute walk. Staff aren’t present on the property outside of cleaning (I think) which worked okay. We checked in and out by a tablet at the entrance. The bunk bed we had wasn’t super comfortable, but overall the place is definite worth the price. It was unfortunate...

"Room was beat up and just seemed very rundown "

"We stayed here for two nights in one of the small double pods (up the ladder). It was a bigger space than we expected and quite comfortable. The walls are understandably thin, so be prepared to hear people in the rooms around and below you. There are earplugs provided, which is helpful. The staff were all lovely and we really enjoyed our dinner around the fire! We also walked to a nearby onsen and found the location to be very convenient for exploring Hakone. Would definitely recommend! "

"Great stay in this friendly guest house in Hakone. Recommended for the gardens, friendly atmosphere and private onsen experience. Lighting in the room was a bit harsh. Adding a bedside light would help."

"Perfect views of Mt Fuji only a 2 minute walk away."

"Highly recommend this hostel for anyone staying around the Fuji area! As soon as I arrived, I was welcomed by the friendly staff, who all spoke English. I was shown a tour of the hostel which was helpful and got to choose which bed to stay in (tip - don't sleep next to the dehumidifier, it's got a constant hum, the hostel is not to blame for this!). Michael was very helpful when providing info and tips about climbing Mount Fuji, without his guidance I wouldn't have been able to climb. Nice and...

"Foo was an amazing host, I had a great time each night I was there. The atmosphere was very welcoming and cozy, the onsen onsite was very relaxing after a long day of walking. "

"The friendly staff greeted me at the door, spoke enough english so check-in was easy and quick. They then showed me around and proceeded to assist with carrying luggage up the stairs to my room, above and beyond customer service - as with everywhere in Japan. A nice quiet accommodation with an instant friendly warmth when you walk through the door. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay here."

"Staff is very friendly and feels like home .. very very good choice"

"The staff and room are good. The place is in a quiet place however there’s no nearby convenient store. nearest subway station is around 600m"

"Great place."

"Wonderful place!"

"Nice staff, clean and have free green tea and coffee. However there is no private bathroom in our room. The property is up the hill and very difficult to walk up with luggage. The bus runs every half hour from 7:30-8:00 am and then every hour after that. You have to call taxi after dinner near station. "

"Easily walkable to all things, staff was friendly "

"Rental bikes are available."

"check In was easy! staff were friendly! FYI, bath towels are 100 yen extra"

"It was very stuffy atmosphere and not a very comfortable vibe to sleep or stay in. A lot of people were coughing all night long I didn’t not feel healthy being there. It was very confined with to many people into one area."

"Large room, close to station, balcony and therefore outside air. Some noise if balcony door left open. Would definitely go there again."

"The stay is like something our of a fairytale! You can see the views of the mountains, lake and the tori gates. The property is right by the water. It has the most up to date amenities! Including your own footbath out doors and a full private onsen that opens up to the views! 10/10 can not recommend this place enough! It was literally the most transformative part of our trip to Japan. "

"100% perfect view of Fuji-san!! Short walk from Kawaguchiko Station and the route is generally flat and well lit at night. The property was very modern and minimalist. Room was clean but had some drain flies in the toilet. Very spacious and can easily fit four adults and luggage. Walls were not very sound-proof but was still acceptable. "
